Abstract

Approximately fifteen shafts were sunk near the eastern end of the Portion to depths of about 30 feet or more. The shafts
were sunk from positions along the boundaries of a right-angled triangle with the east-west zero line for base, the 200E meridian
for perpendicular, and the hypotenuse formed by the diagonal from 00/600W to 800N/200E. Two or three shafts have been sunk
outside the triangle and none near the centre. This work has served to test thoroughly an area of not less than 400,000 square
feet, equivalent to about 25,000 tons per vertical foot. The results of the work to date are discussed in this report.
